USA / Canada Upload! May 2nd 2017

I'm kind of disappointed with tonight's upload. I'm not a fan of green in general so I'm not obsessed with dark forest. I do like the new aerial pattern but I think I would like it on something with a smaller canvas like the Speed Shorts.

In other news, I finally got my semi large order today from Lulu and it looks like I'll be sending everything back. I will take photos this weekend before deciding for sure, but my initial reaction to everything was pretty half hearted. Nothing screamed OMG! MUST HAVE!

Once I get my refund I'll probably put in a large Athleta order. Haha! So, nothing for me tonight. Did you buy anything?

($98! Yikes) 















(too bad it's green... I would have liked this in anything else!)

(I have this scarf from last year and bought it for $19 at a warehouse sale, but I am happy they are making more Vinyasa scarves. Now just bring back FTBW bra!!!)

  1. Well shoot, two wks in a row of super big orders. I love earth tones so I've been buying a ton. I got all 3 Cardero tanks, green define, Swiftly tank and Hotty hot shorts. Blue and an older pink CRB, magnum Power Y, blue Fast and Free Bra, black currant Seek the Heat shorts and Free to Flow crop in store. Whew. :'(

    1. Wow! I wish earth tones looked better on me. I've bee told i look better in darker colors like deep purples, deep blues, grays and darker greens. Enjoy all your loot!!

  2. Not even the quicksand define? Good for your wallet! I missed out but I not sure I would have kept it anyway. Fleshy color is tricky for my skintone. Also I have been buying fewer and fewer luon items due to pilling issues.

    1. The quicksand Define is a maybe. I definitely prefer my dusty mauve Define over quicksand. And yes, the pilling on the luon will definitely happen so I am more picky about keeping luon items too. I'll decide for sure after I see some photos over the weekend. Definitely better for my wallet, but it might just all go to Athleta. =)

  3. I hear ya...not a huge fan of green, but the Dark Forest Swiftly does look pretty, but I'd have a harder time matching it to the rest of my clothes. Aww sorry to hear the large order didn't work out - but yay more funds for other clothes! I hope you'll still do a review of the things you ordered. I find that for the price, if I don't love the item right away, I'm better off not buying it b/c that means I won't reach for it once it's in my closet.

    1. Yup I'll still do a review. Exactly, these items cost a pretty penny, so if I'm not in love on the spot, I really shouldn't keep it. I am keeping one item in the dark forest color- the Low Key Tank, I think it'll be a top strictly for hot days in the summer. Although I should probably keep the tags on until I order some of those linen tops from Athleta. haha. Yay for 30 day return period!

  4. I'm returning my pace rivals in blue jam this weekend so I ordered the green scuba 3 to be sent to my parents in Canada 😀 I'm living in my Scuba 3s and have sold all but 2 of my Scuba 2s.

    1. Nice! I never did like Scuba 2s. They never worked for me. I definitely prefer the 3 over Scuba 4. I ordered black currant in Scuba 4 and while the color is nice, it isn't love.

  5. I ordered new hotty hot and speed shorts in aerial drift print. I hope i like them in person too.
    I like my quicksand define but still waiting for scuba.

We tried HelloFresh for the past two months - Here's our review

Hi everyone! This post is written by my husband. Some of you may know he does all the cooking around here. 😅 We noticed we were spending a lot of money on food and eating out every month and wanted to see if a meal kit service would save us money and time. After looking at a few meal kit services we settled on HelloFresh. Without further ado, here's Jared's review. (Original post date Aug 2022). ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As you may have seen from Leslie's Instagram stories for the past 2 months, we've been using HelloFresh for most of our meals. The main drivers for this were to better track what we eat and because on the advice of my doctor, I should be eating more home cooked meals. Before I go any further, it should be noted that my original career path was in culinary arts, but twists and turns in life changed that. So I do have formal cooking experience. A little background story. Over the years, I've developed

Review! Lululemon's Large Everywhere Belt Bag Size Comparison Plus Video!

  Happy Friday! I can't believe it's almost Halloween! I actually have a dentist appointment on Halloween. One of my molars chipped and needs to be filled in. It's a tiny chip that I didn't even notice until my dentist pointed it out to me during my last visit. I'm not looking forward to it at all since I will need local anesthesia. Anyway, today I have a belt bag size comparison review for you all! For reference I'm 4 feet 11 inches tall and typically wear size 4 in Lululemon tops and bottoms.

Review! Everywhere Belt Bag Extended Strap VS Everywhere Belt Bag Original

  Happy May! Can't believe summer is right around the corner. I'm looking forward to visiting my family later this month. It's been nearly a year since I've been back to NYC. I'm already thinking about all the dim sum I'm going to cram in the 10 days I'm there! 😆  Today I have a review of the new  Everywhere Belt Bag Extended Strap  compared to the original  Everywhere Belt Bag  that is slowly being phased out. 😢  **** Update - The original Everywhere Belt Bag has been phased out completely.
